Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:First appearances deceive in the newest charming and heartwarming Regency romance in the Westcott series from beloved New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh.
Abigail Westcott's dreams for her future were lost when her father died and she discovered her parents were not legally married. But now, six years later, she enjoys the independence a life without expectation provides a wealthy single woman. Indeed, she's grown confident enough to scold the careless servant chopping wood outside without his shirt on in the proximity of ladies.
But the man is not a servant. He is Gilbert Bennington, the lieutenant colonel and superior officer who has escorted her wounded brother, Harry, home from the wars with Napoleon. Gil has come to help his friend and junior officer recover, and he doesn't take lightly to being condescended toâ??secretly because of his own humble beginnings.
If at first Gil and Abigail seem to embody what the other most despises, each will soon discover how wrong first impressions can be. For behind the appearances of the once-grand lady and the once-humble man are two people who share an understanding of what true honor means, and how only with it can one find lo

I thought perhaps this had been written 20 or 30 years ago, but just 3 years ago in 2019! The story was good, and the heroes Gil and Abigail - who are seeking custody of Gil's baby daughter Katie - are quite strong.

However, it seemed a very conservative story, likewise the romance was touching but otherwise lacklustre. I remember thinking the same of the first book in the series too. A shame, because there is potential there.

I've read other Mary Balogh novels and they had more pep!

I nevertheless would like to know the stories and characters I've missed in between the first and the sixth novels. ( )

Caaaaaandy candy candy. I do love this series, in all its romantic glory. Love the way the Westcotts rally around family, am a little distraught that there are only a few left in the family who haven't found a partner. ( )

Another amazing book in the Westcott series. Balogh outdoes herself in telling Abigail's story, her journey from privileged member of the ton to illegitimate child of a bigamist to her own life, not the one she expected.

Gil, the male protagonist, is a treat to see develop, from a distant acquaintance to a warm and caring man, as the reader watches his story unfold.

Mary Balogh writes the most heartfelt touching Regency romances, plausible and believable, and the characters feel like someone I might meet if I lived in the early 1800s.

A nice hint near the end of which Westcott is next. ( )

It has been 6 years since the Westcott children learned the awful truth of their father's bigamy and their illegitimacy. Harry, wounded in the war, has suffered complications but survived and is returning home. In spite of his return to the country estate for quiet convalescence, the whole clan, of course feels it must come from London and assure themselves that he is fine. Traveling with Harry is Lt. Col Gilbert Bennington. As a commoner, Gil finds the family hordes overwhelming and not a little intimidating, though the children find they love his homely but love dog Beauty.
As everyone returns to London, Abigail chooses to stay with Harry much to GIl's consternation. Yet, the three find companionship that leads mutual respect and ultimately a quick marriage. However, the family is less certain of Gil's new role until a crisis rallies everyone to his side.

This is really a 2.5 because it felt a little tiresome, but I'm rounding up to 3. Romantic feelings surfaced quite late in the book actually, and even then they seemed pretty mild. Not a whole lot happens in the story, and it too me a while to work through. And I didn't all the way enjoy the hero. He was kind of a hot-head, and prideful, had a chip on his shoulder, argumentative... I guess it's good he found someone so patient who will love him anyway, lol. It wasn't awful, but I have no interest in ever re-reading it. ( )
